Integra Type R VS K-Swap Civic - Dyno Showdown

[@xy36]

There's nothing quite like the sound of old-style VTEC crossover. It sounds so good, even if there are more powerful engines out there.

[@Laminur]

The cars turned out great. I can’t wait to see you boys back at the track. The fact that you actually track test modifications is what made me originally follow your channel with the S2000.

[@pongosp]

I would pick the integra any day over the civic

[@JamaicanCowboy]

This has been a great video series! Dave is a purest and Pete always manages to put together a solid vehicle using his parts stash. I cannot wait to see the final results!

[@NissanSkyline901]

Maybe it's nostalgia, but I love the sound of a b-series over a k-series. The k-series aren't bad, but the b-series motors just sound a little more throaty, for lack of a better word.

[@mazyata9958]

B series does sound better. It's just that the youngsters haven't been around.

[@miles.a1.9]

I feel the same way....just enjoy the deep vtec kicking in 😎

[@bgee461]

I thought the same thing when the dyno wound up

[@efiniGTX]

B series Vtec just slaps

[@Vaatzes]

There really is something that the B series has over K, and man that nostalgic deep throaty VTEC crossover is what it's all about. I whole heartedly agree with your comment

[@alexc977]

Always an amazing video. The effort that you guys put in isn’t lost to us! Thank you :)

[@1stGenCRXs]

Great work and that B18 showing how long and strong a Honda motor can live.

[@Honderrez209]

165hp-type R 220hp-K hatch I enjoyed the Honda content. Sad to see that's almost over.

[@anthonyvenkersammy9385]

One of my favorite series on the channel, both of these cars came out beautiful. Can’t wait for the track battle!

[@kc510]

I can’t explain why I love that Integra so much.. I guess it’s my age. I saw one at a car show a few weeks ago and it stood out to me among Ferraris and GtT3s. Makes me miss my ‘09 Si a little bit!

[@terraformingcats8175]

This is the best series you guys have done so far. Great work!

[@ewrobertson]

Love these cars and this match up. They're both beautiful.

[@wilsondf76]

Love the series and the cars. Maybe for a future series add $5K budget to each car to improve on what you guys learned from the dyno tune and track.

[@rynev3392]

Hearing that vtec crossover on the type R takes me back to my life 15 years ago

[@excaliburO2]

You guys have a great dynamic together! I'm recently watching your content and love it. Definitely subscribed after the first video I saw.

[@bravemountain10]

Dope video! This has to be my favorite series out there featuring an integra. It truly is an underrated car but I would love to see more content about it!

[@jaynuck]

Amazing to see the power the B18C5 still makes with such high mileage.

[@Dchero45]

Always love watching Nicks videos, lots of great K series (8th gen) content, this series has been awesome to follow along with!

[@TheKaptainKombat]

So stoked to see the track battle! The cars both look incredible, the speed academy garage never ceases to amaze! Keep up the awesome work guys!

[@jeffreylyons1531]

Honda engines rock, my Miata 1.8 Bp made 200whp on 8psi, amazing these can make that power completely naturally aspirated.

[@onefastcyclist]

Great vid - the old B18C at 180 at the wheel is great and seeing that old106hp hatch with over 200hp is wonderful

[@projectplight]

Excited for the track day! That EK looks great but oh my god that DC2! With the white wheels, it's just *chef's kiss*

[@camerongrady580]

Loved the entire series! One request... After you have your 3 lap battle, spend more time at the track with them if you can! I personally would love to see you guys get out drive more with these projects. Fantastic content guys, keep it up!

[@ragweedmakesmesneeze]

Great series! FWIW, I don't know if it's "tuners choice" to basically be "radio-silent: here, but I enjoy watching dyno-sessions more when we're in the car with the tuner and they're talking about what they are doing to get this or that out of an engine.

[@Helstrong]

Shipping and Handling is crazy these days and hard to factor in until you actually place an order sometimes. Definitely easy for things to get away from you, I know I'll start on one thing only to find I need to replace this, upgrade that, change whatever and there goes another $700. Glad y'all tried to be fair about parts stash items and that you even posted costs at all as a lot of people leave that out. Enjoyed your content since the Car Mag days, keep up the good work!!!

[@MultiChimRichalds]

Old school honda build competition, nice to see you guys getting back to your roots!

[@g-mane7497]

Hecks yeah. I know yall been into Hondas forever and seeing you guys build them in videos is a dream come true from those magazine days. In which I still have magazines when Pete was building his white 240sx, and his black integra. :D loved those days too.

[@MikeyGaumann]

This has been a really fun series to follow along with. I love the positivity and attitude you guys have. Great content, can't wait for the track battles!

[@aroundomaha]

Mid week bonus! Stoked! Integra guess 190. Honda K 215.

[@jwppp._1810]

Both cars turned out SUPER clean, great job boys👏

[@andysgaragetherapy]

Very excited for the track day footage! Should be a blast!

[@koltface]

These builds have been great! But sooooo excited to see you both back out on track!

[@shaneduncan2996]

Excited to see the track content. Make it at least a few episodes! Happy to just watch you all get seat time and fix small issues.

[@jeremyr8468]

This is such a great comparison. The legendary type r vs modern k swap!

[@automotiveobsession7265]

One of my favorite channels because there is always something to learn from you guys no matter what car you guys build but also because of the quality of the content. Really enjoying this series can’t wait for the next episode.

[@38tech]

Those are both badass cars. They are built to almost perfection!!! Can't wait to see what they can do at the track.

[@andrewhenry9402]

Loved seeing these go head to head. Type R is for Remarkable 🎉

[@BRICKHOUSESPL]

Both cars look and sound amazing! This is pairing up to be a really interesting on track battle! The time penalty definitely helps...but that powerband difference! Holy moly!

[@jrbuch]

Been looking forward to this episode. Both cars are a credit to you both, you've done amazing jobs and you should be thoroughly proud of them. I'm a Toyota JZ man and that's my background, but mad respect for these two Hondas.

[@Pengajim]

Im so happy you're finally going to the track!

[@cflwhat]

I'm not a Honda guy by any means but I loved this series. I am excited for the races! Would also for sure watch if you put another couple grand into the these cars each and kept it going and battle again! Winner of this battle gets an extra grand to spend or something like that would be cool! As always awesome content!!!!

[@spazda_mx5]

I think Dave and the ITR may have this! 🏁

[@1CraigE1]

I predicted 181 on the type r motor. I actually think the 3" exhaust is too large for this motor. I had a 2.5" mandrel exhaust with magnaflow cat on my usdm, with headers and intake. The only difference when I first tuned was that I had in ctr cams and I made 191hp. With a built b20 block, skunk2 pro2 cams, intake manifold and some other mods I made 223hp

[@lacaro8565]

Totally agree! 3" is better for Forced induction not N/A

[@TheBb6prelude]

@@lacaro8565 totally don't agree at all. It's been proven to be faster up top and by a significant amount with 3 inch straight pipe. My 2.0 made 15 plus at the wheels 2.5 with 2.5 muffler vs 3 inch with 3 inch muffler. Straight on both. You go 2.5 if you want to be slow.

[@TheBb6prelude]

Negative. Once tuned a 3inch will make more every time even on 1.8 b series.

[@1CraigE1]

@@TheBb6prelude that is all well and good but in this scenario it may be imcorrect. Firstly he doesn't have on a straight pipe and also has on a cat. Secondly it is my understanding that he plans to track the car which is why he spent so much on suspension etc and while taking advantage of gains up top might be good on the street, on the track you want to take advantage of where the car performs best. With the stock ecu and stock cams even the tuner said that the car is choking out up top. Majority of the gains are in the mid-range. Yes with more top end he can certainly take advantage of straightaways but for cornering, will it help with entering, carrying speed through and exiting corners efficiently?

[@bgee461]

Nice numbers!!!

[@edwintatlonghari9418]

Can’t wait for the track results of these 2 Honda’s. But I was expecting a track day for the supra and r34, what happen to the original plan for this?

i love the teggy front end more, and the b18 sounds a little better, but out of these two side by side id still take the civic. such a good package, with a ton still on the table. both very well done though, love this content

[@e-dod]

So cool to see that Link has an offering for the K-Series! Both cars are gonna rip!

[@denysb1543]

Awesome video guys!

[@murrieteacher]

How things have changed over the years. I am 77 years old and looking at the parts that make such a swap easier (not easy) I want to do another car. The issues you had i the swap were solvable with the modifications you can readily buy makes a project enjoyable. We have to import the kits into Australia and at the moment our dollar parity to U$ is not good. Nothing beats a 2 post hoist.

[@mtzmueller]

So excited to watch the track battle, I love these cars!

Both amazing cars, I maybe love the civic a bit more (judged on looks) but the results on the dyno are awesome. 270k on the Integra and still delivering, man that’s neat! Almost 210 out of the K20 civic is also very nice, I’m curious which will be the fastest on the track, looking forward to that episode!

[@jamilali7650]

Can’t wait to see if that suspension work in the Integra makes up for the power of the hatch!

[@seattlejdmcivic]

I got to say a couple things #1 I hope Dave keeps the type r!!! #2 I wish you didn't have to start off with the body damage because I really really really would have liked to see the type r with hondata tuned with some short gearing maybe an intake manifold and throttle body as well possibly cams to even out the horsepower and see these two go at it I think if they both had similar numbers or the Integra a few more probably because I think it might weigh a little more than the hatch not sure I think it'd be a hell of a race PT definitely has the advantage with the power in the k series but I think if the b series was a little more evenly matched I think they would have a hell of a race💯💯🤘🤘 I know k is the way I've had a few built all motor k24 block K20 head '90 civics and I also have a rare 2004 V6 6-speed Honda Accord COUPE with the HFP package with a built all motor J series full bolt ons for a daily But I'll say out of the 15 Hondas I've owned and built personally my 95 Civic Coupe that's my built track car with the built all motor b series is hands down my favorite with nothing but two racing seats and a roll cage and every piece of suspension available something about the way the b series sound and look I love but K will always have more potential I know
